Call for Applications: 2nd Summer School on Semantic Computing 2010 (Berkeley, CA)

Call for Applications 2nd International Summer School on Semantic Computing July 25-31, 2010 at the University of California, Berkeley co-sponsored by IEEE, Institute of Semantic Computing and STI In- ternational Semantic Computing is currently emerging as a new field that in- tegrates methods from multimedia (computer vision, speech pro- cessing), natural language processing, semantic web and ontology engineering, software engineering, and other fields with the goal of creating new applications that connect intuitively formulated user-intentions with the content of data. The summer school will provide an introduction to the field to senior undergraduate and graduate students. A mix of young and well-established researchers and educators will present recent research results, as for example presented in the IEEE confer- ences on Semantic Computing. The tutorials will be complemented by keynote talks by renowned experts in the areas of Semantic Technologies, Ontologies, Multimedia or Natural Language Process- ing. The 6-day event is taking place on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley and the curriculum will include the fol- lowing topics: - Formal Semantics - Semantic Web - Ontology Engineering - Multimedia - Natural Language Processing Important Dates: * May, 1: Application deadline * May, 15: Notification of acceptance/Registration opens * June, 15: Registration completed * July, 25: School starts For instruction on how to apply and other information, please visit the following website: http://sssc2010.org/
